It’s not easy to find the positives after a 118-94 loss that slaps a team in a 3-1 hole.
Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors tried to do so after Tuesday’s loss, reading through the stat sheet for the silver lining—and discovering in a hurry no such lining existed, per Guy Haberman:

Ouch.
Good luck finding something to boast about from the stat lines. Stephen Curry shot 6-of-20 from the floor. Thompson went 4-of-11 from deep. The Warriors missed 10 free throws, lost the rebounding battle 68-49 and turned the ball over 21 times.
Maybe the Warriors-Thunder series won’t pan out like most expected. But it continues to provide moment after moment of entertainment, from the tipoff right on through the media sessions after all the on-court drama.
